Jack Davidson has left DDA after 17 years to launch Jack Davidson Logistics and Events (JDL), a London-based company specialising in event management and logistics. The venture will serve film, television and technology festivals and markets, while also providing technical, screening and awards-campaign support across the UK and Europe.

Davidson most recently worked as Senior Vice President at DDA Event Management, which was recently acquired by DDA Global and merged with its existing divisions. He joined DDA in 2010 after working in luxury travel marketing and for Reliance Big Pictures in Mumbai, and recently completed his final DDA assignments at the Venice Film Festival for clients including Netflix, AGC, ImageNation Studios, Bleeker Street and StudioCanal. JDL will approach potential clients ahead of the American Film Market.
